Our teacher asked us to look at the history sources and to think of three
ways they were connected to what we had read.

Before we watched a video about how an engines made, the teacher gave
us a glossary of difficult words to look at then as we watched it, she stopped
it a few times to get us to predict what we might see next.

We drew a diagram to make it easier to show the causes and effects of

farmers using chemicals on their land.

The teacher gave us reasons why she thought our choice of websites on
20th -century art was useful for the project we were about to start.

Before we practised measuring angles, the teacher showed us how to use a

protractor and then asked a few of us to demonstrate before we did the ones
in the book.

The only way we could understand the order of events leading to the
national strike was to make a timeline and add key moments to it.

We listened to the music once then had to decide which composers work it
reminded us of.
